Genk is over the moon after beating Anderlecht (2-0). Konstantinos Karetsas is still on cloud nine.
Liberation: this is how Konstantinos Karetsas seemed to experience this first goal in the first division. He who had already scored in D1B before joining the A core, he had been looking for this little goal for some time.
The Racing nugget undoubtedly had time to think about all this when he stood out in the middle while waiting for Tolu Arokodare to give him the ball from the flank. Perhaps that was what made him lose his control; he still recovered to deceive Colin Coosemans and make it 2-0.
A goal all the more symbolic as it took place against Anderlecht, where Karetsas was trained until he was 15. But the instability reigning at Neerpede finally pushed him to migrate to Racing in January 2023.
A match he will remember for a long time
He experienced the action of this afternoon as in a dream: “Against Anderlecht plus, it couldn't be better, even if I imagined a goal from a shot outside 16 meters” he laughs at the DAZN microphone.
Regardless, this goal will do him a world of good, especially since it proved valuable for Genk in securing victory in a match controlled from start to finish: “It's the only something that I was missing, now the other goals will come, I don't have the words. As a team, we reacted very well after the defeat in Bruges, we pressed, we played with balls. .
